So, my team is in the final of the European Champions League on Saturday night, and I'm proper worried!

It's the biggest trophy in club football in the world, we've never won it before, got close a few times but never quite got there...we've had penalty misses, bad referees, phantom 'goals', last minute heart-breakers, the lot.

This year luck seems to have turned our way a bit, could this be our year..?

We came back from the dead against Napoli in the quarter finals, we somehow got past the mighty Barcelona in the semi-finals, and now German giants Bayern Munich stand in our way of our greatest day. Oh, and the game just so happens to be being played in Munich....

I never dreamed as a kid I'd actually see my team as champions of all of Europe, now that day could be coming. Maybe.

Spare me a thought on Saturday, I'll be biting my nails and praying to any God that'll listen. Your collective support may make the difference my Redskin brothers!

We've got a corner of the pub reserved, getting there for the Playoff final between West Ham and Blackpool at 3pm, then its Leinster v Ulster in the Heineken Cup final (rugby) before the BIG one at 7.45.

What a day of sport!

I might do an underdog treble: Blackpool, Ulster and Chelsea - should be about 7/1 I reckon.

Oh god, I dearly want Blackpool to beat West Ham today, lol. The thought of the team that's "too big for The Championship" having to stay there for at least another year is lovely. I'd hate Brighton to have to play them twice again next year, but they're such a bunch of big time charlies, it would be worth that small inconvenience

Bayern are certainly favourites tonight, but it would be no shock if your chaps did it!

Yep, commiserations SLR. Bayern won 14-13 on penalties. Although Chelsea thought they'd won it after the first 10 penalties were taken, UEFA invoked the special "Clause 347a, Paragraph biii", which states that "Michel Platini reserves the right to award the trophy to anybody he likes, particularly if some lousy English club wins it, and if he feels like their football wasn't "beautiful enough"".

As a result, at 2am BST on Sunday, the players from Bayern returned to the stadium to continue the penalty shootout. Sadly, the Chelsea team had been in the Hofbrauhaus for several hours by this stage, and the Blues were therefore represented by a local boys team from Munich.

They put up a good fight, but it wasn't to be. Never mind - there's always next year

Best part of the trophy ceremony was that John Adolph Terry was shunted to the back of the photo, out of sight Worst part of the ceremony was Bosingwa! What the holy pants was he doing at the front and centre?!!!! Lol.
